Yeah man, Nightwish is the king of emotional metal.
Sleeping Sun
Swanheart
Walking In The Air
Pharaoh Sails To Orion
are all amazing, although the latter isn't as intentionally emotional, it has so much power and feel that it spawns so much feel from me every time I listen.
Fuck, I know that sounds cheesy

Good ones, Heretic Princess! Savatage ballads are the ultimate! Its always a good night when i can sit at an upright piano with a case of beer belting out "Believe" or "If I Go Away", amongst others.
One tune that i didn't see mentioned is "Two Winters Only" by My Dying Bride. Downright depressing! Big fan of "So Long (Still I Wonder) from Nightingale, also.

Katatonia - Teargas
Opeth - The Drapery Falls
Why has no one mentioned Pantera ballads? They're great. Most of them follow the same kind of formula but there are some different ones.
Pantera - Cemetary Gates, This Love, Hollow, 10's, Suicide Note Pt.1, and Floods.
Opeth - The Drapery Falls

"Floods" by Pantera also has one of the best guitar soloes I've ever heard! Dimebag sometimes make kind of braindead wanking, but that solo is bad-ass shit and fits the song very, very well!
Metal ballads have always been a deep passion of mine.

I must admit that I've never really liked that many metal ballads. Maybe that's because I'm thinking of the 80's crap like GN'R & Iron Maiden. Although I think "Appetite for destruction" is a superb album, "Sweet child o' mine" is easily the weakest track on it IMO and I usually skip it. A song like their "November Rain" I never really liked! "Don't cry" is a little bit better, but also one I usually skip. "Knockin' on heaven's door" I never really liked either. "Estranged" is a bit different and I certainly like that one! Their "Lies" album has gotten as time has gone by.
A track like Maiden's "Wasting love" also seems a bit stupid to me today I must admit.
The closing tracks on Hypocrisy's "Abducted" are cool though and so is "Return to serenity" and "Trail of tears" by Testament, but songs like "The silent man" & "Eve" by Dream Theater are awful and sums up what I basically don't like about metal ballads!! Gross, sticky crap just to try to get chicks or some shit!
